HARMONY OF THE LAW · VOLUME 2
13. And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it; (for thou broughtest up this people
13. Et dixit Moses ad Jehovam, Atqui audient AEgyptii (quia eduxisti in virtute tua populum istum e medio ejus:) in thy might from among them;)
14. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou, Lord, art among this people; that thou, Lord, art seen face to face; and that thy cloud standeth over them; and that thou goest before them, by day-time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

17. And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
17. Et nunc magnificetur quaeso fortitudo Domini mei, sicut loquutus es, dicens:
18. The Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
18. Jehova tardus ad iram, et multae misericordiae, tollens iniquitatem et peccatum, et innocentem non faciens: visitans iniquitatem patrum in filios super tertiam et quartam generationem.
